CAVOK, that’s a bold claim about AI ‘ruining our skills,’ especially for physicians and software engineers. I wonder if it’s less about skill degradation and more about skill evolution? For instance, I’ve seen teams use AI not to replace coding, but to accelerate boilerplate generation, freeing engineers for more complex architectural work. It’s a tool, much like a calculator didn’t ruin math skills but changed what ‘doing math’ meant. I work with customer acquisition myself, and we actually leverage AI agents to handle repetitive tasks, which lets our human team focus on strategic relationship building – if you’re curious how we do that without dumbing down the human role, there’s more detail at https://cxgo.ai/l/De4x0OA.
We don’t let people use calculators until they reach a certain level of maths proficiency without one. Also, we don’t let calculators decide what sums to do.
When software developers are using AI to assist them, that’s different than someone vibe coding something. It didn’t sound like that commenter was promoting vibe coding.
I’m shocked that a person who is touting AI so hard missed a pretty basic context clue. Maybe those basic tasks that they are using AI to skip could have helped them in this situation.
Here’s an AI comment and an AI link, showing you I use AI heavily. Since I can’t understand this, it means you’re wrong, otherwise it would mean you’re right and the AI brainrot is already why I can’t understand it. And my chatbot says I’m stunning and brave!

Definitely degradation. Deskilling is a well-established phenomenon.
It’s not me making the claim, I just posted the link.

Yeah, but they can’t understand that because they use AI heavily…
